Church Safety Alliance

Church Safety Alliance consist of local church members working together to balance the need of protection against the need of an open faith community. It is no secret criminals target churches through theft, child abuse, vandalism, arson and violent crimes. We believe God has gifted men and women within the local church to provide basic protection services from the view of a servant's heart.

While safety should be on the mind of every church administrator, the reality is a small percentage of churches do not focus on it until a tragedy or crime is perpetrated against their local body. We believe it is a good thing to pre-plan and prepare for the possibility of criminal action against your church. However, every church is different, and the needs of one church might not be the needs of another.

Should your church purchase security cameras? Should you conduct church background checks upon volunteers in sensitive positions? Should you have armed security personnel on campus? These are all questions many churches have wrestled with, and Church Safety Alliance hopes to provide some of the answers.

Our vision for Church Safety Alliance is to provide a central hub of information on church safety related issues, and to give a voice to those who are helping their church increase their Safety, Vulnerability and Threat Assessment.

We provide information on several levels. The first level is through free information in the form of free on-site consultation. Anyone with an interest in church safety can start there. For those who want to begin the process of church safety planning, Church Safety Alliance has developed resources including a Church Safety workshop, various training opportunities to coach possible personnel and/or volunteers.

Lastly, we have developed a source of like minded people who provide service in their home church through a church Armor Bearing ministry. Along with the opportunity to have suggested safety vendors and coaches fill the void of possible safety risk in your local church. We invite you to a free consultation if you desire to be part of a community and to interact with others who are providing church safety services on a volunteer basis. It is a growing community of people who recognize the necessity of securing the local church, and have taken the step to plan and implement a church safety team.

You may have a lot of questions of what you need to do to get your church security ministry started in the right direction quickly.

It may be your church board is looking for a presentation this week and you need some information fast, or you have recognized how large this project may be on your own, so you are searching for something to save time and frustration.
